1911 TekMat

1911 Cleaning Mat

The 1911 TekMat is a 17 x 11 inch bench mat for stripping and cleaning a 1911 pistol. It is printed with a full exploded diagram of the gun, so every pin, spring and plunger has a marked place to sit while you work and a reference for how it goes back in. The rubber base keeps solvent and oil off your table, which makes it a practical pick for new 1911 owners learning a detail strip and for experienced shooters who want a clean, organized work surface.

Features

• Exploded Parts Diagram — A white line drawing shows the 1911 broken down into its individual components, laid out in the order they come apart.
• Numbered Parts List — A printed key down the left side names each part, from the frame and slide stop through the barrel bushing and mainspring cap, matched to the numbers on the diagram.
• Production History And Specs — A reference panel lists the designer, origin, year and production figures alongside the action type, cartridge, feed system, weight, length and barrel length.
• 17 x 11 Inch Work Area — The mat gives you room to lay out a fully stripped pistol plus brushes, rods and patches beside it.
• Thermoplastic Fiber Surface — The fabric top is waterproof and oil resistant, so cleaning solvent and lubricant sit on the surface instead of soaking through to your bench.
• Dye Sublimation Printing — The graphics are dyed into the fabric with heat rather than laid on top, which keeps the diagram from peeling or cracking.
• Non-Skid Rubber Backing — A 1/8 inch vulcanized rubber base, cured with heat for strength and grip, holds the mat in place and cushions small parts so they are less likely to bounce off.
• Washable And Rollable — Wash the mat when it gets dirty, then roll it up for storage in a range bag or cabinet.

Construction And Care

TekMat bonds the printed fiber top directly to the rubber substrate during vulcanization instead of gluing the two layers together. The finished mat is 1/8 inch thick: firm enough to work on and flexible enough to roll. The diagram and parts list are specific to the 1911 platform, but the mat works as a general cleaning surface for any handgun.
